kwooton@aimmedia.com Back when Jimmy Carter was president, I joined a sailing club on Boston Harbor to soak up some of the riches I was accumulating as a bartender. After taking some advanced sailing and navigation classes, the day finally came for my check sail. The club fleet included a gaggle of 26-foot, three-person, open keelboats called Solings, which were sailed in the Olympics until 2000. They are pure sailing machines with no engines or electronics. The early summer day dawned sunny and warm—perfect for showing my instructor what I had to offer. As we sailed out down the main channel toward the rocky Boston Harbor islands for what I assumed would be an easy bit of buoy hopping and channel surfing, a dirty smudge appeared on the horizon. Anyone who’s…

She launched in 1931 from Camper & Nicholsons in England, and, at 193 feet (58.8 meters) length overall, was one of the largest yachts of her day. Now, just out of a three-year restoration at Pendennis in Falmouth, England, she is not only in top form and ready to resume her illustrious career as a…

It’s not every day that Valentina Zannier, chief of interior design at Nuvolari Lenard, refers to a hanging glass sculpture as “an example of insane engineering.” And yet, the description befits Falling Feathers, created by Precosia Lighting in the Czech Republic for the 378-foot (115.1-meter) Lürssen Ahpo. The sculpture floats in the void of the central staircase, from the uppermost ceiling to the lower deck. “Metal and crystal pearls comprise the single feather, each one with different shades of amber colors to match the wood of the elm wood stringer,” Zannier explains. The sculpture is just one among countless standout elements aboard Ahpo, which launched in 2021. She is the outcome of a longstanding, trusting relationship among the experienced owners, their representatives at Moran Yacht & Ship, the Lürssen yard…

Winding down along Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast through bays and inlets, along rocky shores and around countless islands offers a feast for the eyes and the palate. Croatia has more than 1,000 miles of coastline and 1,200-plus islands, the largest archipelago in the Adriatic. About 50 of the islands have populations that make for some of the most historic, interesting and picturesque ports of call in the world. Jumping off from Split, the largest city on the Dalmatian Coast, it’s usually a comfortable run out to the islands of Brac, Hvar and Vis, with their typical calm seas and mild temperatures. The beautiful ports have historic stone structures and red tile roofs that create a colorful, welcoming waterfront scene. Med-style docking, stern to the stone cay, is common in many ports…
